<exsanguination microtubules> I've noticed the loading status bar at the bottom of the screen doesn't always appear on zone transitions. Seems somewhat random (maybe 10% of the time it's not there). On long zone transitions, this gives the feeling the game has frozen. For example, I just descended into a Historical Site from the world map with about 7-8 second load time, but no status bar at the bottom.

This is still a frequent issue as of 202.78 (reef beta).

It is very common (in my latest playthrough, almost every screen) that the status bar simply doesn’t appear to indicate the next zone is building.

This just makes it feel like the game locked up and won’t accept input. It also often causes me to press directional buttons because I think that I didn’t move yet, and then those inputs get processed after the next screen finally loads, which can be dangerous for a character.

pretty sure I hardened this code to ensure the message will display - if not, something is probably setting the XRL.UI.Loading.SetHideLoadStatus(true) and not setting it back somewhere, might help if you experience this one again to write a quick postfix logger of every call to that function and send me back some more data @exsang (bitbucket can't search users anymore)
